Rental Car South Africa - Car Hire In South Africa
Posted by Nick on March 10, 2010
If you are visiting South Africa the best way to get around and see the area is by getting your own wheels. Getting a rental car in South Africa isn’t much different than getting on anywhere else. Rental cars in South Africa are fairly inexpensive with rates around $40 a day with included insurance. Booking your South Africa rental car is typically cheaper if you book and prepay in advance before leaving your home country.
South Africa car rental companies include:
- Around About Cars
- Avis
- Budget
- Europcar
- Hertz
- Imperial
- Tempest
You can also book rental cars in South Africa on sites like Expedia or Travelocity

In South Africa they do drive on the left; like they do on the United Kingdom. Road conditions in South Africa are excellent. Other drivers will be your biggest concern as the road accident and death rate is quite high at 10,000 to 15,000 deaths from road accidents each year.
Petrol stations in South Africa do not have self-service. Instead they are full service and you are expected to tip around $0.50 when you get your tank filled.
